Chafee's Lugar Critique Gets New Life

Lincoln Chafee's post-Senate indictment of a Republican Party gone off the rails, Against the Tide, gets new life in a book from Geoffrey Kabaservice on the demise of the GOP's moderate wing. Here, Kabaservice writes of (recently ousted) Senator Richard Lugar:

Angry as the Tea Party became with him, Lugar had also been disowned by
the moderate faction of which he was once a part. Indeed, the Senate’s
dwindling number of Republican moderates expressed more frustration with
Lugar than with any other colleague because they felt that too often he
sided against them despite his better judgment. Rhode Island Senator
Lincoln Chafee, a liberal Republican, was convinced that it galled Lugar
to witness George W. Bush and Richard Cheney undoing decades of
bipartisan achievements in international relations. Yet “time and
again,” Chafee wrote in his book Against the Tide, "Senator Lugar showed
an unwillingness to fight with the White House over the direction of
our foreign policy.”
